I worry about this. I don’t think my job will last my lifetime and am taking steps to move forward with my life now instead of when I’m 40.
What will you do?

Shipping is in demand, the labor is the problem. There is a high supply of people willing to do our non cdl work for less money. Especially if the company decides to spend the same on labor and put more routes in making the job easier.It seems like shipping is in high demand, with more and more people shopping online... What do you suggest?
I’m looking into nursing right now. Downsizing my living and saving money.What will you do?
And that kind of weak minded thinking is why the company will be able to break the union and stop giving workers their fair share.I worry about this. I don’t think my job will last my lifetime and am taking steps to move forward with my life now instead of when I’m 40.
Look how much worker revolutions end. You’re screw either way if that happens.Yeah. Without a serious uprising, only the currently wealthy will continue to accumulate wealth.
Common people and our trades are sacred and inherently valuable. We should organize like our lives depend on it. Because they do.
I will strike like the rest even if cost me everything. I’ll vote down what I see as impending doom.And that kind of weak minded thinking is why the company will be able to break the union and stop giving workers their fair share.
A whole lot of people in this country agreed with you and President trump was the result.Yeah. Without a serious uprising, only the currently wealthy will continue to accumulate wealth.

You mean like the PT Union members that work at minimum wage and no benefits so the FT package delivery drivers can bash them everyday instead of management?And that kind of weak minded thinking is why the company will be able to break the union and stop giving workers their fair share.
True. Some progress had been won by revolutions in history though. I would consider my life well spent to make that kind of mark in human motion.Look how much worker revolutions end. You’re screw either way if that happens.

Honestly don’t let stress blind you to the fact you already won the biggest jackpot in the universe. You’re alive, try to learn to enjoy that. Don’t let all the bs blind you to that. Life has a funny way of making us forget we are alive.What will you do?
Not sure how that's relative to what I was talking about, but ya, sure.You mean like the PT Union members that work at minimum wage and no benefits so the FT package delivery drivers can bash them everyday instead of management?
Lol! Trump! That's not the kind of revolt that I'm talking about.A whole lot of people in this country agreed with you and President trump was the result.

But the second part is right on. Weird situation.Lol! Trump! That's not the kind of revolt that I'm talking about.

Praise be to God.Honestly don’t let stress blind you to the fact you already won the biggest jackpot in the universe. You’re alive, try to learn to enjoy that. Don’t let all the bs blind you to that.

I've supported my disabled mother since I was 20. It keeps getting harder. But it is amazing to be aliveUntil you or a family member with a health crises. 62 years old and never had a lost time injury or health issue including the Mrs. or children. Praise be to God.
You seem like a very interesting person.. Wish I could meet youHonestly don’t let stress blind you to the fact you already won the biggest jackpot in the universe.

Thank you. My Mom had an aneurysm when I was 20 and she has been semi functional since. It's a hard thing to prove to gov agencies because it's more subtle. Not paralysis or something that can easily be just seen. It left her more childlike and unable to understand her bills or to be very efficient at work. It effected her cognitive functions.So it's not just that you are trying to support yourself or a small family. You are trying to support someone with a disability. That is obviously going to make things more difficult. I agree that pt'ers should make more than they do. But since that can't be changed right this second, and may not change ever, what we need to do is figure out what can be done to help your situation now.
I don't want to get too personal, and I assume that you have applied for every bit of government funding you can. At very least there should be some social security money coming in to help. There may also be some private charity assistance you can apply for. Without knowing more, it may be difficult to point you in the right direction. But I do hope you are at least getting some help from somewhere, and if not I really think you ought to be.
It is relative. This conflict between the FT folks and the PT folks has us divided and that is a major threat to our solidarity.Not sure how that's relative to what I was talking about, but ya, sure.
You're a few decades late.It is relative. This conflict between the FT folks and the PT folks has us divided and that is a major threat to our solidarity.
